What is LIES Greatest BOOM

Ask any one the above question, and the
answer will be made instantly, "Life's
greatest boon is the enjoyment of good
health" No one feels more keenly the
absence of this heavenly boon than the
weak and delicate women, and no one more
keenly than she will appreciate the bless
ings of good health, or more eagerly seek
for the remedies which will restore her
wasted strength to the full perfection
which health alone can give. To all such
we earnestly appeal to read the following
testimony Of a we'll known lady resident in
Hopkinsville, Ky:

Gentlemen-Seven years ago sore de.
veloped on my nose from finger nail

but the sore would not yield. grew worse

menced taking s. s. s., and two dozen bot
ties entirely cured me.

was in very poor health, and could hardly
drag about. After had finished the course
of s. ). 8. l was strong and buoyant, and

with me. Yours respectfully,

La Sales Coal Question.

The La Sale City Council held a special
meeting on last Wednesday evening, to con-
slider the question of its rights to sell the
coal under its streets and alleys to the Mat :
theissen s Hegeler Zinc Company for 49,
500. This coal question has been an awful
bother to the La Sale City Council for near
ly % years. The Supreme court has decid-
ed that the city cannot sell the coal, and
then the NJ. s. II. Company make an offer,
with +. F. Bull of this city as their counsel.
Mr.. Bull argued the matter as sort of a
keep.still-aboutit affair That the city had
nothing to sell and could sell nothing, but
that the company would give the city 49,,
500 to keep quiet. The Zinc Co. would then
be liable at any moment to be withheld, by
an injunction, by any citizen who wanted to
take that trouble to get it out. Again the
city might be made liable for larceny Of the
coal, because it had made an agreement to
sell the same, as q bailee or some other
crime of like character. As the city could
not be incarcersted, the aldermen would bs
designated as boodlers and sent down to the
stone yard. Nice prospect. The Republican
says, that the city ought to get the Zinc Co
to raise its bid thousand or two, and then
consider the case, or if the price is too low,
let the coal stay there Is street foundation

"Of all childish practices that atilicts
society, that one which calls for the publica
ton of list of wedding presents is the most
foolish. so far has this evil grown that
many times persons are invited to weddings
solely for the present that will surely come
with them; for whether one is stipgy or not
or whether he can afford it or not, or wheth-
err or wants to or not, or whether
he goes or not he feels bound to make pres.
ent; and as a whip to induce the people who
are invited to Of wedding the editor is ex-
pected to publish list the wedding pres
ents with the names Of the donors. We do
not want to be too abrupt or too particular.
but we do say that 1t is a foolish practice,
bad taste and entirely out Of place, and lack
Of elegance and display of verdancy. We
think it we'll enough to make wedding pres
ents but they should be free will offerings

In his contribution to the October Fo-
rum, entitled "The Continuance of Demo
cratic Rule" John G. Carlisle gives two
pungent reasons why the tax on liquors
and tobacco should be retained. In the
first place, he says that, except by those
who voluntarily use these articles, very
little tax is paid under the present Internal
revenue laws, and as they are nothing but
injurious luxuries they are very proper
subjects for taxation. The other reason is
that the money collected under the internal
revenue system, less the small cost Of col
lecting it, goes directly into the national
treasury, and consequently there Is nc
charge imposed upon the people except
for the benefit Of the government itself
The tariff taxes, on the contrary, are laid
and collected upon imported articles of alb
solute necessity. Is clearer statement Of
tariff facts possibleg

From out the Gloom.

When the DAYS are dark and dreary,
And cloucs of rain come down;
When the winds are high with fury,
And leaves fall, gold and brown;
Then the clouds will sometimes tarry
And for the sunlight make room,
Then the sun shines so brightly
And comes from out the gloom.
As we float along life's ocean
In our frail and helpless bark,
We meet 80 many wrecks OF manhood
Upon the waters dark;
Their lives are utter failures,
They are on the road 70 doom,
Oh, Is there none 70 help them,
To save them from the gloom.
Are we here for pleasure only?
Are we here for self sloney
Are we helping Gods children?
Are we living lives unknown?
Do our actions towards each other
Daily tell OF the love consumed?
Do we stand with hands Outstretched
To help them from out the gloom.
When filed with doubts and fears,
When joys are still unknown,
We have the gloom around our heart,
We want TO be alone.
But when we love and are beloved
The heart Is filled with rich perfume
OF love reward; oh, II brings us all
From out the gloom.
Sometimes life seems hopeless,
Death would be sweet relief;
It's when we're full of sorrow,
OF palms, tears and grief;
But If we pause to reconsider
That for grief there Is no room,
Our hearts will fill with gladness
And we will come from out the gloom

Living Witnesses!

Ask any one who has used DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets as to their mer-

es and eruptions disappear; that constipa-
tion-that breeder of disorders-is relieved 4;
that the appetite Is restored; that the whole
system Is renovated and regulated beyond
any conception by these little wOnder-work-
ers. Being purely vegetable, they are per-
fectly harmless; being composed of con-
ceptrated, active Ingredients, they are pow.
erful! Purge and purify the system and
disease will be unknown. OF all druggists.

Republicans generally make light of the
$1OO,OOOOO0 surplus. They figure the per

66,OO0,OOO, as being $1.66 per year. 1t Is a
specious statement, calculated to mislead
and made for that purpose. The $4,000, 900
population do not pay the $1.66 per head
per year. The bread winners are the ones
who actually pay this tax, and In compari-
son to the population their number Is but
small. The over-ted monopolist pays none
Of 1t, and not content with reasonable
profit on his wal es, he includes In the price
he charges for them the amount of the
tariff imposed on the same class OF goods
he makes, and the consumer pays the
whole of 1t. The goods being made In
this country, this tariff so charged goes In
to the pocket of the monOpolist, and not a
cent goes to Uncle Sam.
